Re: deleted box
What are the problems that you have with this? It would take just a tiny bit of code to add a "trash_folder" variable, which when set, would receive a copy of deleted messages. But I'm not sure what doesn't work about the above? 1. You cannot undelete messages and have them removed from the Trash folder. 2. It is possible to delete a message multiple times (and svae it to the Trash folder multiple times). Limited accoutn space made the duplicated messages hard to deal with. 3. No good way I found (without cron privs) to automatically delete messages without entering the Trash folder. 4. Takes relatively long time and puts a Saving... Message up. 5. Does not work with the tag-prefix or with thread-delete. randy -- Five hundred, twenty-five thousand six hundred minutes, how do you measure...?

No good way I found (without cron privs) to automatically delete messages without entering the Trash folder. This is (IMHO) beyond the scope of what mutt should be able to do. It will be easy to delete messages from cron with a find command if you make the folder a maildir or MH folder, but it will also be easy to do the same thing from your .login, or from a shell script wrapper around mutt, or any number of things. 4. Takes relatively long time and puts a Saving... Message up. Hmm. My method would make deleting messages instant, but then resynchronizing the folder might take a moment longer. But I think this will be nicer. 5. Does not work with the tag-prefix or with thread-delete. I don't see why it wouldn't work with tag-prefix if your macro is "s=deleted\n" or whatever. But thread-delete is a good point. This will all be moot if we do it my way. Hmm, I wonder how hard this would be to code? Looking at the code a bit, I come to the conclusion that it would be trivial to do this, but such an implementation would have the problem that we would sometimes save a copy of the message to the trash mailbox but then fail to synchronize the folder. By the time we successfully synchronized the folder, we would have several copies of the message in the trash. This is not so bad, since this is just a backup mechanism, and too many is much better than too few. But it is still a bit ugly. Alternatives are to do this from within the routines specific to different types of mailboxes, after we have checked for new messages and dealt with locking. That would be a bit ugly too. A third alternative would be to split up the various sync functions into two parts, but I don't know if this change justifies that. I will think about this a little bit more. -Daniel -- Daniel Eisenbud [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I have been using this patch to get a trash-folder effect; unfortunately
I have lost the author's name.
It was created for Mutt 0.94.3, but seems to work very well with 0.95,
since it is not very obtrusive.

Re: deleted box
Hi all, I believe the author's name is Jeff Dubrule. I use the patch too, and it works great! I've included Jeff's text that went along with the patch: Ok, a long time ago I griped about the lack of a "trash" mailbox to which deleted messages would get moved. I was directed to: unset confirmappend folder-hook . "macro index d 's=trash\n'" folder-hook . "macro pager d 's=trash\n'" folder-hook trash "bind index d delete-message" folder-hook trash "bind pager d delete-message" This annoyed me because it was slow, didn't handle ^D (delete-thread), and could cause me to make 1 copy of something if I hit 'd' on it more than once. Finally, this is distinctly non-obvious to the casual user. As a solution, I present this patch, which saves deleted messages to a designated mail-folder. While this feature is not traditionally included with Unix MUAs, I find it invaluable: I get too much mail to pay great attention to each one I delete. If I make a mistake, I'll never be able to recover that message. This way, I can move 'em all to a 'trash' folder, have a cron-job clean up the old messages, so I have a week to realize that I screwed up. OK, the details: Include "set trash = +trash" (or whatever) in your .muttrc, and when the mailbox syncs, it'll copy all the deleted messages to the trash mailbox before zapping it. This behaviour does not occur, however, if the trash mailbox itself is selected. This patch works with all mailbox types. -igor -- Mun

I have been using this patch to get a trash-folder effect; unfortunately

Looks pretty good. There are a few little nits, like including
globals.h. And can a string variable ever be a NULL pointer? I wasn't
sure, so I checked anyway in my patch. At least using safe_strlen would
be good, I think. Also, the patch doesn't check the exit status from
actually writing the messages to the mailbox, which is kind of bad. It
does check whether the user is in the trash mailbox, which is good.
However, besides this, it has all the same problems as my patch. I've
decided that maybe the problem of saving a copy of messages to the trash
when you don't actually delete them but just save them to another
folder, is OK. I just looked at my MH docs, and this is how the rmmproc
functionality that I used to use there works. However, the potential
saving of messages multiple times is annoying, still, and will not be
infrequent in really busy mailboxes. However, I don't want to do this
whole operation with signals blocked. But I gather that we're not
supposed to keep the mailbox locked with signals unblocked, right?
Aargh! Can someone enlighten me on the issues involved with that?

send-hook bug?
I have [EMAIL PROTECTED]'s mail forwarding to this account(via a .forward). I need mutt to make it look like I am replying to a mail that hasn't been forwarded. I have the following send-hooks in my ~/.muttrc: send-hook '~t [EMAIL PROTECTED]' 'my_hdr From: foobar [EMAIL PROTECTED]' send-hook '~t [EMAIL PROTECTED]' 'set signature="~/.foobar.sig"' This(AFIAK) says "when I reply to something sent to [EMAIL PROTECTED], it should be from [EMAIL PROTECTED], and it should change my .signature accordingly." Is this correct? If it is, I believe that I have found a bug. If it is not, can someone please explain why? Here is how I reproduce the bug: When I reply to a message sent to [EMAIL PROTECTED], the header changes and says that I'm not me, I'm [EMAIL PROTECTED], and the signature changes to [EMAIL PROTECTED]'s signature. The mail sends fine, and has the correct information in it. Then(with out quitting mutt) I reply to a message sent to [EMAIL PROTECTED], but the From: header and the signature remain for [EMAIL PROTECTED] I did not see anything in the manual about this, nor could I find anything on the web pages. There is, however, this note in the manual: Note: the send-hook's are only executed ONCE after getting the initial list of recipients. Adding a recipient after replying or editing the message will NOT cause any send-hook to be executed. The way this is stated, my message shouldn't be affected.
